Roast Pork Tenderloin with Prunes and Bay Leaves image

A fabulous way to prepare a pork tenderloin, assuming it doesn't get overcooked. I'm particularly fond of pork and bay leaves, and the stuffing of sweet prunes is a delicious addition. From Rozanne Gold, a favorite cookbook author. Cook time includes soaking time.
